“all the yeast donuts here (dough, fan fan, peter pan, moe's, donut pub, etc etc) are generic basic dense doughs, nothing like the airy soft yeast donuts you get from LA/west coast.”

replying to u/Unlikely-Guess3775: I think Donut Pub on 14th Street is probably the best classic old school spot. It's like Peter Pan, but without all the extra hype.
“I always say these are like a “real” version of what you get at Dunkin. Dunkin are stale, airy, waxy things, and these are created with real, quality ingredients.”

replying to u/eastwest413: Peter Pan is the answer, it’s not in Manhattan but the trip is worth the time if you’re looking for classic donuts.
“Donut pub is also very good, but kinda pricey and really sweet. They do have lots more flavors though and croissant donuts which are nice. Definitely a worthy spot.”

replying to u/GrassWaterDirtHorse: Donut Pub down on 8th street is still open! I do think it's a bit pricey for the quality, but I might be outgrowing my own taste for donuts. I've always preferred Chinese bakery pastries instead.

replying to u/Lil718: Looking for a review that compares 7th ave to Peter Pan. I’m lucky that 7th ave is easy for me to get to, & yes their donuts are amazing!!! Is Peter Pan worth the travel and wait for what everyone says is the best? They look pretty similar to me. Thanks.
“Donut Pub has expanded their selection and some are great, others just a pretty sugar bomb.”
